Sean, I am a huge fan of yours!

You inspire me to try to type faster.

But unfortunately my typing speed is just 40wpm no matter how hard i try to type :(

Can you pls suggest something to help improve my speed?.

Thank you.

@austinf47 For the most part, yes, but I have noticed that my typing style is different than a lot of other people's as I don't necessarily type the same letter with the same finger each time. It depends on the location of the other letters in the word. I tend to use whichever finger is most convenient/closest sometimes even if it isn't the generally accepted finger for that particular key.

@TetsuoK I'm using a Das Keyboard Professional. I've never used an Acer. I've only used either Logitechs or Dases recently. I don't really think I'm more typo-prone on either the Logitech or the Das. However, I haven't typed on an Acer so I probably can't answer that.

@arenasnow Thank you so much for your swift Correspondance. One last question. With your use of the daskeyboard product (professional, right?), do you notice a better transition between fluidity that otherwise would result as missed letters or space bars on other keyboards? I can't, for certain, tell if it is my own errors, or my acer keyboard not tracking what I am typing properly. Thank you, again.

@TetsuoK That is the site; hi-games . net. Most other sites do not offer serious endurance testing. Go to hi-games . net / typing-test , 3000 / (with the spaces removed).

@TetsuoK If you're looking for endurance typing tests, check out hi-games . net.

@arenasnow Is there an endurance website you would recommend for practicing the 50 minute tests?

[TetsuoK]

@arenasnow Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I tried Dvorak for a long stint during highschool and managed about a 10% increase, but after reading a bit on your bio page, i realize i am in a similar boat; it doesn't matter where the "home row" is, because no key is pressed always with the same finger. I want to get within 20% of your speeds. is there an endurance website you would recommend practice on? (the more difficult, the better). I am currently @ 130wpm on typrx.

@TetsuoK QWERTY

[TetsuoK]

Hello Mr. Wrona. Do you use QWERTY, raditional Dvorak, or a modified Dvorak to type?

Dude, you type faster than I can read :))

I went to your website after seeing you on Typeracer and wanted to share that I'm a big racing fan as well.
